“Terrific location”

Reviewed August 4, 2013
for a stay in July 2013

The villa was true to its description, situated in a quiet Cul-de-sac with an easy walk to local amenities along a well lit coastal path. The water cooler was fantastic addition and it only costs 1 Euro to refill. Because of its location you do not need to hire a car, but if you do hire one, you can explore the lovely surrounding areas. We would definitely recommended this beautiful villa which caters for all ages and abilities, and hope to return one day.

We have just arrived home after the most fantastic two weeks at the Villa Rheia in Penera. We wanted to thank Ruth and Chris for allowing us to use their home because that was how it felt a real home from home. The villa was superb in every way perfect for our family holiday, we were a family of 6 adults and the space was amazing and perfect for us, the down stairs bedroom and shower room were a godsend for grandma who finds stairs difficult. We all loved the beautiful setting and the views of the ocean were fantastic. Having our own pool was the best thing ever and we all swam everyday, the pictures were spot on everything was as described and the welcome pack of goodies left for us on our arrival was brilliant. We were just a few minutes walk from lovely beaches and bars and restaurants (Blue spice was a favorite of ours and say hi to Mia if you go) and the gallery attached had some brilliant pieces the pebble sculptures were brilliant. Both my husband and son enjoyed the water sports at the end of our roads, we hired a car for a few days and traveled the island it was lovely to see a bit more of what Cyprus has to offer and we would most certainly recommend both the villa and the area to all. You only had to walk a short distance to reach Protarus who had a fantastic beach and shopping strip , and on our trip to Ayai Napa we visited Nissi beach the view was amazing the water so clear . Ruth was so very helpful in answering all my questions and queries and we thank her so much, she made this experience so very easy.

We have just returned from a lovely week at Villa Rheia. As a family of six we tend to need a lot of space and or our accommodation to be fairly family friendly, Villa Rheia did not disappoint.The children were all starving upon arrival so the welcome pack of bread, cheese, jam and juice was a lovely thought. The baby's cot was up and assembled when we arrived and we hired additional baby equipment through a company The owner Ruth had suggested, this conveniently arrived 20 mins after our arrival. We found the location perfect a short walk to both the shops, bars and restaurants in one direction and the beach and picturesque coastal walk in the other. The pool was a perfect size and lovely and clean, the children barely left it all week!We did take a few excursions, visiting Ayia Napa to board the Pirates of the Carribean boat 'The Black Pearl' (a must for young children!) and the stunning Cape Greko for a wedding.All in all a lovely stay in a beautiful villa!!

We stayed at Villa Rheia in May 2011 with our 5 month old daughter and my parents. We chose Cyprus as the ideal meeting point for all the family as we live in Dubai and my daughters were joining us from the UK.The villa has everything you could possibly need and from the first night we all felt very much at home. The outdoor area is perfect for family dining and the pool is immaculately clean which was perfect for our little one.The owners provided a travel cot and I can honestly say there was nothing that we found to be lacking throughout our entire 2 week stay.I would certainly recommend this villa to any family wanting a relaxing break. The location of the villa is perfect for the beach, bars and restaurant and everywhere in Protaras is pushchair friendly which is a bonus!

“Fabulous sea view villa with private pool that is a real home from home”

Reviewed July 25, 2011
for a stay in June 2011

person found this review helpful

We love villa Rheia and all that it offers. A fantastic 3 bedroomed villa, with private pool and sea view, located a short walking distance on the flat (with pavements and street lighting) for all that Pernera has to offer in the way of bars, shops and restaurants. The villa is equipped to a high standard - comfy beds; air conditioned throughout; BBQ; wasing machine, dish washer; fridge freezer and water cooler to name but a few. All the outside seating (back and front of the villa) is really comfortable and there is space a plenty for all the family to sun bathe or cool down. The board walk runs between Pernera and Protaras and follows the sea edge. Endless choice of eateries, and if you want to leave Pernera (we never do) Ayia Napa is a 10 minute drive or taxi. The price of air con is usually charged as an extra, as is a welcome pack, but not at Villa Rheia. We wished we owned this lovely home but have to settle for renting from the helpful and friendly owners. We have spent an important anniversary there and could not fault anything. It was so clean and welcoming that we look forward to going back again and again. As we have already been 3 times I am certain it will not be long before we go again. A lovely villa that offers privacy - without isolation - a great supermarket is in Paralimni. This villa appeals to all age groups. If you enjoy yourself as much as we do you are in for a really great time.
